There are more examples of apps just like this that came before (this is the only one that comes to mind at the moment), the only way I would be remotely interested is if they figured a way to solve the inherent problem of selecting all/some of your friends as crushes to see who had you as a crush, and then what happens when someone legitimately adds the person who was just checking everyone's crushes.

#3Seems similar to bang with friends. Except the bang part.

#4Solve two nearly insurmountable problems and you have a winner:
1) Make it impossible to game. 2) Chicken and egg.
I have no idea how to solve these problems, but it's a concept ripe for disruption if you do.

#5Props for your effort!
What I dislike (not specifically about your project, that is!) is the idea that, as a society, we're incentivized to increasingly hide behind our screens instead of growing some balls an actually live in the "real life". Here, we're talking about dating. The other current topic: how we intend to fight democracy-destroying mass surveillance by (apparently) simply sitting behind our screens.

#6Why not limit it to say 3 friends?
You can't have a crush on every friend (you might want to bang them, but not crush?)?

You could also argue that this project helps society move in a way you prefer. Once you get to "mutual crush" and ideally start dating, my assumption would be that those dates would be in "real life".

I like this idea, but perhaps it'd be better to rate limit to say 1 crush a day

#9This used to be extremely common as a naturally viral way to harvest email addresses, the prompt was "put in the email addresses of your crushes".
What's your twist that sets it apart from the usual variants? (Sure, building it on top of Facebook could potentially provide some additional benefits, but what are they?)

I've heard that this is a problem with real-life speed-dating as well.
